On Education
I wish teens could just straight up decide to take GED style classes as an alternative to shitty traditional schooling right from the get go when it comes to highschool instead of having to wait for traditional school to fail them entirely.
Wisconsin kind of has it, in that there's an alternative program for Seniors who won't have enough credits to graduate called HSED (High School Equivalency Diploma) So you can join that program at the start of your Senior year and get out literally as fast as you can complete the work.
Despite being set up like a GED (I took the final exam alongside others taking the GED) it counts as a high school diploma, and is marked as one on any type of paperwork, and it was literally the easiest class I ever had.
The HSED saved my life. That's not an understatement, or an embellishment meant to make it more dramatic. That's just how bad my situation was getting.
I already knew what I needed to graduate, but the school environment hindered me so badly that when I entered senior year I only had half the credits I needed for graduation with no hope to catch up.
TL;DR: Schooling in America is shitty and I wish more people had a safe option to get it done faster.
[Extra Note: I completed this program about a month and a half after joining, and my brother took about three months when he did it a few years after.]
Finished my test! Killing time in the library, with my all time favourite book. I could, and have read this a billion times.
So, I took the Math and Social Studies portions of the GED today. And apparently, a 150 is passing and a 170 is passing with honors. Guess who got two 170s exactly? That's right. This woman.
have any of my followers taken a high school completion course and gotten an hsed? or are in the process of it? I'm sure I'll have to call anyways, but if someone has basic knowledge of it and would be willing to explain some of how this works to me first I'll feel a lot better about it.
